1970s | Sportswear | Cerebral Palsy Center Printed T-Shirt | Green – S

Description:

Item: Soft cotton printed T-shirt in deep green, featuring a bold yellow graphic for the “Olympics for the Physically Handicapped” and the Cerebral Palsy Center, dated 1981 within the design. Classic 1970s–early 80s charity and community event shirt, produced for participation, volunteering, or fundraising rather than retail sale. Lightweight cotton with a naturally softened handle and a slim, period-correct fit.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Sportswear

Condition: Good vintage condition with honest wear consistent with age and use. The fabric has softened beautifully and shows gentle fading that adds depth to the colour. Print remains clear and readable, with no major structural issues.

Provenance Note:
These shirts were created for purpose, not fashion. They represent moments of community, fundraising, and real social effort, which is exactly why they carry such weight today. The wear and fading are the result of genuine participation rather than design, giving the piece an authenticity that cannot be replicated. It stands as a quiet record of a time when clothing was used to support something bigger than itself.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.

Sizing Notes:

Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
